a Destination for all seasons!A visit to Georgina on the south shore of

beautiful Lake Simcoe will provide fun for the whole family year round. Just an hour’s drive north of Toronto, you will find one of the finest vacation spots in the country featuring beautiful countryside, pleasant vil-lages with friendly people and our greatest attraction - Lake Simcoe.

At one time, Lake Simcoe and all the lands surrounding it were covered by a much larger glacial lake called Lake Algonquin. It’s still large enough to work up quite a chop on a windy day, when sailboards and sailboats of many kinds dot the horizon. Excellent marinas surround the lake and offer a full range of services.

Amazingly, for a lake so close to Toronto,

Lake Simcoe has one of the highest fish populations of any freshwater lake on the continent. Avid anglers visit in every season and almost always go home with a catch.

In winter, snowmobiles are a way of life on Lake Simcoe and hundreds of fish hut opera-tors will outfit and happily guide you to the best spots to drop your line. Local anglers and faraway visitors come and enjoy the challenge and hospitality of the area’s fishing derbies and competitions.

Make sure you book a stop at Georgina’s Recreational Outdoor Campus (The ROC), which combines high quality sports and adventure based activities in an ultimate outdoor playground. Feel the wind in your hair as you enjoy the tube and terrain park

where you can whisk down more than 100 feet on its snow tube course or perfect your snowboarding skills while playing on one of the four available runs. For the younger set or more cautious, the ROC’s free toboggan hill is guaranteed fun. But if careening down the slopes is a little too fast for your liking, you can run, walk, hike or snowshoe on one of the facilities many spectacular trails.

Enjoy the view of the hill from the warmth and comfort in front of the fire in the spec-tacular Chalet while you grab a bite to eat or sip a hot chocolate to warm up.

When the ice breaks up, spring brings us boating activities of all kinds. Perch anglers dot the shorelines and river banks. Golf courses come alive. Scenic drives along the

lakeshore allow you to take in the beauty of the lake in its many moods featuring the birds, clouds and sunsets for which it is renowned.

During warm months, The ROC offers a whole host of activities for the entire family, including a ropes course, climbing wall, 300-ft. zip line, a water play splash pad, plenty of hiking trails, a comprehen-sive cycling course, and numerous volleyball, tennis and basketball courts. Pack a lunch, get something from the Canteen or enjoy a sit-down meal at the Chalet.

The south shore of Lake Simcoe is rich in culture, history and nature. It has been the home of a number of famous Canadian writ-ers, and the area is full of lovely summer homes. The tree-covered, rolling hills and winding rivers to the south are home to many charming and productive farms, picturesque from seed time to har-vest. Georgina’s woods, hedgerows and gardens are home to wildlife of all kinds with a splendid collection of birds, attracting “birders” from all over.

The Sutton Fair celebrates its 160th year August 6th to the 9th. It is one of Canada’s oldest and most popular fair & horse shows. Georgina is also home to many festivals (See events). With its breath-taking colour, autumn is a delight to the golfer, painter or photog-rapher. On foot or on bicycle, you can experience the fresh air, the smell, the sounds of the lake and its river inlets with their gathering birds and beautiful fall scenery.

Georgina has a variety of accommodations to suit every pocket-book, with friendly country inns, resorts, B&Bs, motels and cabins. Or if camping is your thing, we have excellent trailer parks and Sibbald Point Provincial Park, which offers hundreds of campsites and a variety of picnic areas. Our restaurants serve everything from fast food to fine dining - simple country fare to gourmet delights - and there’s evening entertainment at your local bars and taverns.

So come and enjoy our town - Georgina - on beautiful Lake Simcoe.

Open Water Bass: This season starts the fourth Saturday in June and is the last spe-

cies to become fair game on Lake Simcoe. Recognized as one of Canada’s finest smallmouth bass fisheries this lake has the real potential to provide anglers with their Personal Best smallmouth ever. Many report that Georgina’s southeast portion of the lake is home to many of these mon-ster smallmouths.

Simcoe is home to the record for the five heaviest bass ever weighed in during a Canadian bass tournament. Those fish weighed a whopping 31.5 pounds caught and in the same event an 8.05 lb smallie was also caught. Tournament anglers from across North America know the bass here are huge but thousands of recreational anglers have also heard about the record sized smallmouth Simcoe has to offer.

Although the weedier sections of the lake provide good largemouth fishing, smallmouth prefer rocky shorelines, points, drop-offs and around any one of Simcoe’s productive islands. Georgina Island is a top producer. Rapala X Raps and the new Shadow Raps are great smallmouth baits here, especially when there’s some chop on the water. Try the X Rap in water less than 15 feet when bass are off bottom and the Shadow Rap when they’re closer to bottom. When conditions are calm or bass are inactive, try casting a Trigger X Flutter Worm rigged wacky style or a drop shot rig for one of Simcoe’s legendary smallmouth. This lake has become a true world-class trophy smallmouth destination thanks in no small part to the majority of anglers who voluntarily live release most or all of their catch, especially larger fish over 2 or 3 pounds.

A great place to access the lake in York Region for smallmouth is Sibbald Point Provincial. Here families from across the Region and beyond come not only to fish but to boat, picnic, camp, swim or just sunbathe on the clean sandy beach. In 2015, this park will once again host the popular “Learn to Fish” program and is great for newcomers to the sport.

Perch: Yellow perch are found just about everywhere and we have both good eaters in the 8-11 inch range and plenty of those true jumbos (some topping two pounds) that has put Simcoe on the bucket list of so many perch fanatics. There are many excellent areas for perch, from Cook’s Bay out of Keswick in the south all the way up to Atherly Narrows in the north. Georgina’s shores out from the villages of Virginia, Willow Beach, Pefferlaw, Keswick and Port Bolster however are tough to beat. Launching your boat from Jackson’s Point at Bonnie Boats or from Sibbald Point Provincial Park will put you in the heart of some great perch waters. Later in the year, launching closer to Pefferlaw – like at Quinn’s Marina on the south side of Hwy 48 will get you to the mouth and big fall perch in no time.

Finding one or two perch usually means you have found a school so don’t become discouraged if you don’t get bit right away. Casting a search spoon such as a small Blue Fox Minnow Spin is a great way to locate a school of perch. Or, try a slow troll for perch with a mid-sized original floating Rapala. After you connect with one fish, throw a marker buoy to the spot where the perch hit and proceed to cast to that area with jigs or even a modified drop-shot rig. Instead of the weight on bottom, I’ll often use a Lil Foxee jig, and above that on the hook I’ll add a soft, lifelike, Trigger X minnow or if they’re really finicky- their new Probe Worm. Many perch experts on Simcoe are forgoing the use of live minnows in favor of productive artificials like these.

In the fall, large flotillas of boats can often be seen out from the Pefferlaw River and these are filled with anglers having a blast fishing Simcoe’s famous jumbo perch. Our perch are extremely plentiful, but in order to sustain a true trophy perch fishery, we ask anglers to release those precious perch over 12 inches. This way we can all do our part to conserve this great fishery for future generations.

Big Spring Opener! Not many lakes in Ontario have three Big Time species all opening on the same day but that is certainly the case for Lake Simcoe. Northern pike, lake trout and whitefish all open on the 2nd Saturday in May. The more elusive yet trophy sized walleye opens then too, but they are more of an incidental catch. And in 2015, for the first time since 2002, a spring cisco (lake herring) fishery will open on the 2nd Saturday in May as well.

Pike: The shallow, weedy areas in York Region’s Cooks Bay likely hold more pike than the rest of the lake combined! It’s here that the Aurora

Bassmasters club hold their annual Spring Open Pike tourna-ment out of Keswick’s popular Boston Pizza plaza. Productive pike techniques include trolling or casting large Blue Fox Spinners along weedlines and Rapala X Raps overtop weed-beds. When pike are inactive make long casts with jigs and soft plastics or try some of the Storm swimbaits near the aquatic plants that pike love.

Lakers and Whities: After the opener boats gather out from the Willow Beach and Jacksons Point area for big specimens of either fish that hang around until mid-late June. Their season closes Sept 30th and reopens Jan 1 for ice fishing. Various jig-ging spoons produce but the Blue Fox Moresilda spoon jigged vertically below the boat in 60-75 feet of water comes highly recommended. The Lil Foxee Jigging Minnow worked right on bottom is great for whitefish. With more whitefish now feed-ing on gobies however, be sure to try the Storm Goby swim bait and work it with little twitches right on bottom. This will mimic the goby behaviour and should pay big dividends. For deepwater whitie or laker fishing, you are fishing blind if you don’t use a high quality sonar to look for the right depth, baitfish and the big fish you’re after. The full colour Lowrance High Def Units give unsurpassed clarity and quality even at the depths these fish reside.

Visitors and residents alike will want to insert the latest Navionics Canada Gold 2XG chip into their sonar’s that will give a complete digital map of Lake Simcoe showing depth contours, shoals and other likely fishing spots. With Lowrance’s built in GPS, you can also save your Simcoe hot spots and revisit them easily to help increase your odds.

WINter FISHING:If you enjoyed fishing Simcoe during the open water season,

then we welcome you back with open arms to try the great sport of ice fishing here. With several ice hut operators in Georgina it makes it easy for families and others to try this great winter sport. For active, hard core ice anglers, the quality and quantity of fish available, brings them back year after year.

MNRF stocks 50,000 lake trout and ~140,000 whitefish into the lake each year and there is evidence of natural reproduction for both as well. Yellow perch are still the most sought after species during the hard water season on Simcoe, simply because of the quality and quantity of perch here. In 2015, the highly acclaimed “Perchin for MS” derby out of Sibbald’s Point attracted 450 anglers and the winners had over 10 pounds for their heaviest 10 perch.

Whether you are one of the thousands of visiting anglers or a local Georgina resident, you need go no further than out from the shores of one of our lakeside communities, for some tasty Lake Simcoe fish caught through the ice.

For more information on Lake Simcoe fishing regulations check out www.mnr.gov.on.ca Here you can also log onto the new interactive Fish on Line link with Google Maps and learn all about the fish from Lake Simcoe.

For all Lake Simcoe anglers regardless of whether you are a pro or just fish for fun … remember, regardless of the season, the future of fishing is in your hands. Please practice selective harvest and catch and release to ensure the great fishing opportunities remain for future generations.

Boasting 52 kilometres of scenic shoreline, Georgina is one of the most versatile vacation destinations around. Whether you are planning a day trip or scheduling an extended stay, discover why thousands of boaters make the trip each year.

Many of Georgina’s marinas, re-sorts and rental businesses have been in operation for decades and have es-tablished reputations for excellence in customer service. They can accommo-date your every request providing qual-ity sales, service and rental.

From the thrill of power boating and sail boarding, to a picnic and

swim on a sandy beach, to the re-laxed tranquility of a day of sail-ing and a lakeside patio lunch, Georgina’s businesses offer it all. Specializing in marine amenities and water sports, Georgina knows how to take care of its visitors and make them feel at home.

While it takes just about an hour to travel directly through

Ontario’s fourth largest lake on the Trent-Severn Waterway,

boaters have a number of river passageways, secluded spots, ac-

tive fishing holes, sandy beaches and scenic lakeside communities from which to choose.

From the protected harbour of Pef-ferlaw to the 500+ dock lakefront facil-ity of Krates Marina in Keswick, you will find extensive launch ramps, fuel docks, pump-outs, washrooms and shower facilities. A number of marinas offer overnight transient docking and most provide electrical and mechanical service, as well as on-the-water towing, if required.

Cruise the shallow waters off of Snake Island around Island Grove or head for deeper depths around Fox Island. Head for the open water as you explore Georgina Island, Sibbald Point Provin-cial Park and the Duclos Point Nature Reserve.

Virginia Beach, Flying Bridge and Ev-erglades marinas in Pefferlaw can ac-commodate most boats and while the family-run Quinn’s Marina does not provide transient docking, it special-izes in smaller sport boats and personal water crafts.

Experience all that Georgina has to offer and see why it truly is a boater’s paradise. Find everything you need on dry and and make sure to book a little shore leave at Georgina’s ultimate out-door playground, The ROC, as well as at a number of local festivals, entertain-ment venues, premier resort facilities and dining establishments throughout Georgina.

The museum is open throughout July and August at scheduled times. Also, be sure to visit St. George’s Anglican Church (1877) located next to the park boundary, as famous Canadian author Stephen B. Leacock is buried in its heritage cemetery. The park also offers weekly educational programs such as pond studies, guided natural and cultural hikes, children’s crafts, museum tours and pioneer games and programs. There are also evening programs where movies are shown at the outdoor theatre, focusing on culture, natural resources and protection of the environment. Special events are also scheduled throughout the summer; please ask about these

Each reflecting its own distinct and unique character, Uptown Kes-wick, Sutton and Jackson’s Point host a number of events throughout

the entire year, but each community comes alive during the summer months.

The streets of the main uptown Keswick area get closed off to traffic and opened up to the public for its two feature festival attractions.

Music in the Streets offers free live entertainment throughout the day in June, including students from Connors Music, local bands, choirs and theatre groups.

And the merchants of the main shopping district host a fall family fun day in September for the Uptown Keswick Harvest Festival featuring a vendors market, barbecues and lots of activities for the kids.

The Sutton BIA hosts four events with free horse-drawn wagon rides at all events (weather permitting).

A Spring Fling kicks off an exciting roster of events in May with a com-munity garage sale in the Market Square.

And a sea of yellow rubber duckys floating down the Black River her-alds the arrival of one of Sutton’s main attractions — the Festival on High and duck race. The family friendly event includes children’s games, face painting, live music and vendors.

A Hallowe’en Haunt in October encourages everyone to dress up in costume for plenty of games and prizes in the Market Square, which is also home to the annual Christmas tree lighting Dec. 5 featuring free hot chocolate and fireside carolling before the annual Christmas Parade of Lights, which runs from Jackson’s Point to Sutton.

Jackson’s Point’s downtown parkette is the picturesque park setting for a number of great events taking place such as summer concerts and sales and culminating in a year-end songfest wrapped around a Meno-rah and Christmas tree lighting at the end of the year.

But the feature event is the annual Painted Perch Festival — an after-noon and evening of fun and excitement for the whole family.

The kids can enjoy games, crafts and face painting and there is always plenty of live music featuring lots of local talent. Don’t forget to check out all of the wonderful handcrafted perch and vote for your favourite.There is also be an array of vendors, artisans and some great food and drinks to enjoy.

The large BIA membership is dedicated to preserving and maintaining the local flavour of each of Georgina’s historic community downtown’s while being united in a common goal of restoring, enhancing and beati-fying each local downtown core to share with heartfelt hospitality with residents and visitors alike.

Explore Georgina’s rich history and the people and places of its past with a visit to the Pioneer Village & Archives.

Officially opened on Thanksgiving Day 1975 by Chief of the Chippewas of Georgina Island, Lorenzo Big Canoe, the Georgina Pioneer Village & Archives is a veritable heritage showcase.

Located near the south shore of beautiful Lake Simcoe, this 10-acre site is home to numerous buildings that interpret the history of Georgina between 1850 and 1920, including a one-room schoolhouse, a general store, a train station, a blacksmith shop, an apothecary and a backwoods log house.

The Pioneer Village also houses an extensive archival collection comprised of records created by the councils of the former townships of Georgina and North Gwillimbury, as well as the Village of Sutton. In addition, the Archives contain a number of personal family documents, including land records, photographs, scrapbooks, bibles and related ephemera.

Heritage camps, tours, workshops and school visits are just some of the activities that take place throughout the season. The Village also hosts a number of popular special events, including Rise to Rebellion: An Interactive Re-creation of the 1837 Rebellion for Grade 7 students in May; Canada Day celebrations in true 19th-centry style July 1; and a Harvest Festival in September celebrating the arrival of autumn with a display of vintage farm equipment, plenty of food, children’s crafts, music, apple cider and historical demonstrations.

And the holiday season truly takes on magical proportions when you step back in time with the sights, sounds and smells of an early settler Christmas during the Village’s Old Fashioned Christmas in November.


This year’s 160th Sutton Fair & Horse Show promises to be another big year for the Sutton Agricultural Society.

A stellar list of events includes something for everyone in the family.But the fair hasn’t lost touch with its long-standing roots and tradi-

tion that make this a true country fair.From its humble beginnings as a one-day event in 1855 to its current

four-day action-packed schedule, the Sutton Fair combines the best of both the entertainment and agricultural worlds.

This year’s theme is “100 Years of 4H Ontario”.Decorations and activities during the four days of the fair will

embrace and celebrate the venerable 4H experience.Organizers are also excited and thrilled to feature a second pavilion

on the property built in 2013 to add another venue for the entertain-ment and animal shows.

Many competitions and contests will “rev up” the excitement more than ever before featuring monster truck rides on General Hazzard.

And once the smoke clears and the roar of the grandstand settles from the popular truck and tractor “pulls”, as well as the Thrill Show demolition derbies, there’s still plenty to tempt the thrill seeker on the World’s Finest Midway.

Take a ride or two, sample some food, visit the 4H and youth venues,

With almost 300 original art works and a continuous roster of exhibi-tions and events, the Georgina Arts Centre & Gallery in Sutton is a must-see attraction in Georgina.

Founded by a small collective of art enthusiasts in 1999, the centre is widely renowned for its world-class art and small-town charm

Three on-site galleries include the BRUCE SMITH Gallery — named after Bruce Smith, who donated a huge collection of original oil paintings by Albert Chiarandini - and a new ALCOVE BIINDIGEN GALLERY, which permanently showcases First Nations artists and features Native exhibitions all year.

The Retail BIINDIGEN (Welcome) Native Gallery, mentored by Elder Duke Redbird, showcases a large selection of paintings, bead work, soap-stone carvings and giftware from Native artists and works in conjunction with local artists, First Nations Cultural Tours and Georgina Island First Nation.

The GACAG’s permanent collection includes paintings by Albert Chiarandini, York Wilson and Bruce Smith as well as photographs by Georgina artist Tom Zsolt.

Summer KidsArt camps run all summer, including an Animals Among Us camp in July, but there are plenty of events for the entire family to enjoy.

Gourmet luncheons once every month, special galas like the Art Expo/Biindigen Culture Days festival in September and an impressive roster of exhibitions keep the centre a vibrant hub of cultural and fun activity.

A new Music at the Gallery component features concerts, presentations, wine and gourmet food.

But one of the centre’s premiere events is its First Nation Cultural Day inclusive of a Family Pow Wow in June. The First Nations cultural aware-ness day allows guests to learn about traditional singing, dancing, drum-ming and crafts, welcoming everyone to share in the celebration with First Nation peoples attending from across southern Ontario.

The Stephen Leacock Theatre of Performing Arts continues to capture the imagination with live theatre like you’ve never seen it.

Opened in 1985, performances on its stage have been igniting the imagina-tion and tickling the fancy ever since.

Famous for its up close and personal ambience, the 295-seat theatre pres-ents a varied schedule of local, national and international entertainment.

Located in the north end of Keswick just off of The Queensway, the theatre offers the best in musical guests, comedy acts and stage productions — all in a wheelchair accessible, comfortable and, air-conditioned facility.

Committed to providing quality entertainment at affordable prices, the theatre continues to host a number of highly acclaimed performers ever since its first stage acts more than 25 years ago. Rita MacNeil, Jeff Healey and The Arrogant Worms are just some of the many talented performers to grace the stage. Enthusiastic theatre goers return time and again for repeat appearances by favourite entertainers, such as the Yuk Yuk’s comedy troupe.

Home to the Queensville Players theatre group, the theatre has always been a strong supporter of home-grown talent. Copacabana, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Confessions of a Dirty Blonde, and The Wizard of Oz are just some of the productions that have received rave reviews from audiences.

A highlight of this year’s roster is Lisa Brokop’s Patsy Cline Project Sept. 12.

Brokop will transport the audience back to the hey-day of country music with her presentation of Patsy Cline classics accompanied by multi-media imagery for an incredible musical journey featuring some of Cline’s most memorable songs including “Walkin’ After Midnight”, “I Fall to Pieces”, “She’s Got You”, “Sweet Dreams” and “Crazy”.

If an extended stay in Georgina is on the agenda, why not sign the kids up for summer theatre camp sessions, which are available from July to August. Budding thespians can learn the art of acting, aspects of stage presence and voice projection while receiving instruction in mime, improv, vocals and dance. The training portion culminates in a final performance for friends and family.

Less than an hour’s drive from Toronto, the Stephen Leacock Theatre is a worthwhile trip for an evening out to enjoy great music, comedic perfor-mances or a thrilling mystery.

Canada DayCELEBRATEGeorgina’s Canada Day Celebrations paint the

town red and white in true patriotic style at the town’s impressive Recreation Outdoor Campus — otherwise known as The ROC — July 1, 2015.

Enjoy live entertainment, children’s activities, inflatables, food and so much more during a day full of exciting festivities for the whole family from 2 to 10:30 p.m.

The day’s events culminate in a spectacular fire-works display beginning at 10 p.m.

Canada Day is a free community event and this year the town will be giving back to the commu-nity in a big way.

It is asking participants to bring a non-perish-able food item to this year’s Canada Day Celebra-tions in support of the Georgina Community Food Pantry.

So bring the family (and a canned good for those less fortunate) and hook up with friends as you celebrate the British North America Act, which created the Canadian federal government on July 1, 1867.

The BNA Act proclaimed one Dominion under the name of Canada.

Dominion Day was officially renamed Canada Day by an Act of Parliament on October 27, 1982.

Stay, play, GEORGINA ISLAND

getawayYou don’t have to look any farther than Georgina Island for a unique

travel destination — only an hour’s drive north of Toronto.Visitors are encouraged to leave their vehicles on the mainland since your

“getaway” starts with a short ride to the island aboard the ferry Aazhaawe, whose name means “to go across”, or on the island’s water taxi.

Located north of Sutton overlooking Duclos Point and Virginia Beach, Georgina Island is the largest of Lake Simcoe’s three islands and home to a proud Chippewas community.

Sure to satisfy the nature lover and outdoor enthusiast alike, Georgina Island is the perfect landscape to rediscover nature while you learn about the area’s culture and traditions.

Make sure to stop by the band’s central community centre to view a com-prehensive photographic collage of the Chippewas history documented through an impressive pictorial testament to the Island’s people and ways of life.

Then take a stroll a few metres behind the building to take in what can be described as nothing less than a glorious view and experience of Lake Simcoe.

Enjoy spectacular sunsets, watch for herons or hike the woodland paths.

Walk the same steps of many before you on Georgina Island’s Nanabush Trail system.

Originating from the Ojibwa story about the son of a West Wind Spirit father and human mother, the woodland paths follow the four sacred medi-cine paths of the Tobacco, Cedar, Sage and Sweetgrass trails and feature an authentic wigwam village and educational information.

While you wait for the ferry, enjoy a warm cup of coffee, a cool drink or a bite to eat at the Virginia Beach Marina as the ferry docks just outside its doors across the street.

The marina and restaurant also provides boat slips, fishing tackle, bait and licenses.

Georgina Island is a unique travel destination offering everything from the rustic, natural delights of nature at the Nizh Meegwunun Family Campground to the soft comfort of lodge and B&B accommodation.

It is the perfect place to stay, play and getaway.

Urban Livingin a Rural Setting


KESWICKKeswick, the largest of Georgina’s urban

communities, offers an attractive combination of urban services and rural charm. It is also home to the Town’s Civic Centre located on Civic Centre Road, 2 km east of Woodbine Avenue and north of Baseline Road.

The community has been the site of extensive development recently with a resultant doubling of the population over the past decade and a forecasted doubling again in the next 15-20 years which will see a population of approximately 71,000.

Keswick is home to some of Georgina’s largest employers such as Kesmac Inc., grower of sod and manufacturer of sod farming equipment; J.C. Trailers, manufacturer of specialty trailers for both domestic and overseas markets; and Krate’s Marina, a full service marina (See page 7 for a full list of services).

HIStOrIc SIteSOne of the most beautiful and historic buildings

in the area is the Anglican Church in Roches Point, which was built in 1863. The Rev. Walter Stennet M.A., retired principal of Upper Canada College, designed the building in a primitive Gothic style reminiscent of an English country church and did most of the labour in building it. The graveyard, so lovingly kept, is full of historic interest as it contains the remains of many of the early settlers.

accOmmODatIONLake Drive North has several beautiful bed and

breakfast establishments and motels, all with a lake view.

SHOPPINGThere are five distinct shopping areas in

Keswick:

• Glenwoods Plaza – The Queensway South at Glenwoods Drive; a modern plaza with stores for groceries, electronics, women’s fashions, optical services, home decorating, fitness training, pet supplies, restaurants, smoke and gifts and The Beer Store.• Keswick Marketplace - Woodbine Ave. & Glenwoods Ave., Walmart,

T.D. Bank, RBC Bank, Prestige Jewellery, Subway, St. Louis Bar & Grill, Sunset Grill restaurant, Dollarama, Marks Work Warehouse, Scotia Bank, TD Bank.

• Uptown Keswick– Simcoe Avenue and The Queensway South/Church Street area featuring business services (insurance, office supplies, accounting), groceries and specialty foods, wine making, crafts and art supplies, flowers & gifts, Canada Post and The Georgina Advocate.

• Yorkwood Plaza – Woodbine Avenue; a plaza anchored by the Zehrs grocery store, which also offers a pharmacy and photo processing. The rest of the plaza includes pet supplies, restaurant, hair stylist, veterinarian, dentist, and Staples.

• Arlington Shopping Plaza – Woodbine Avenue and Arlington; a plaza featuring the LCBO, pharmacy, medical centre, food and other retail outlets.

• Additionally, the whole of The Queensway South from the southerly limits of Keswick to Church Street in the north, consists of retail and commercial outlets, fast food establishments and residential areas.

tHe artSThe Stephen Leacock Theatre at 130 Gwendolyn

Blvd. has an active schedule of local, national and international entertainment and is also home to the Queensville Players, a local amateur theatre group specializing in musicals.

eNtertaINmeNtThere are a number of pubs/restaurants in Keswick

all offering various forms of entertainment. Dancing is usually available. Current movies are screened every day at The Gem Theatre.

SPOrtSWhether you’re boating, fishing or sailboarding,

Keswick boasts several marinas situated from the south end of town on Cook’s Bay northward to Island Grove on the south shore of Lake Simcoe. Each offers such services as slip rentals, boat and fishing gear rentals, boat launching, and sales and service of all sizes of pleasure craft.

Canadian Tire in Keswick now offers live bait and allows prospective anglers and hunters to get their appropriate licenses.

Georgina’s new Recreation Outdoor Campus (The ROC), which combines high-quality sports and adventure activities, in an ultimate outdoor playground, is open all year.

Golfers have an excellent full-service, nine-hole golf course available at Orchard Beach. Public swimming is available at Clarendon Beach Park, which also has playgrounds and picnic facilities.

During the winter, the local marinas offer ice fishing supplies and, of course, full snowmobiling services. Ice

sailing on the lake is very popular for those who have their own equipment.

For spectators, the local twin pad arena, the Georgina Ice Palace on Woodbine Ave., features figure skating and hockey from the youngest up to and including the Junior C team known as the “ICE”.

JACKSON’S POINTHIStOrIc SIteS

The waters off Jackson’s Point are ideal for divers who wish to explore history. Here lie remnants of the pre-war Metropolitan Radial Railway (formally Grand Trunk Rail) which brought hundreds of tourists from the noise of the city through quiet fields to the placid cool waters of Lake Simcoe at Jackson’s Point. Further east along Hedge Road at the entrance to Sibbald Point Provincial Park can be found St. George’s Church and the burial site of one of Canada’s foremost authors – Stephen Butler Leacock. Although he won world-wide acclaim with extensive writings on political science, economics and history, he is best known for his “Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town,” “Arcadian Adventures with the Idle Rich” and “Literary Lapses,” the first works to be essentially Canadian in character and spirit. Buried in the same church yard is Mazo de la Roche, author of “Jalna.”

The church, as it is today, was built in 1877 in memory of Susan Sibbald by her sons (she had nine). A little wooden church had been built there earlier by the settlers. The altar and hymn board are of oak and were carved and presented by the Rev. George Everest. The beautiful west window is dedicated to the memory of three airmen killed in the First and Second World Wars. The woodwork in the church is oak, pine, black walnut and butternut. The bible on the prayer desk was presented to the church in 1841. The Holy Communion Service dates from 1841 as well.

Sibbald Point Provincial Park is one of southern Ontario’s most popular parks, drawing thousands of pleasure seekers each year for summer camping, picnicking, swimming and boating, and for winter activities such as cross country skiing and ice fishing. It is located north of Hwy. 48 on Park Road.

Just inside the provincial park stands Eildon Hall, a memorial museum which was the home of Lieutenant-Colonel Wm. Sibbald and his wife, Susan.

Perhaps the most historic building in the area is

tHe cOmmuNItIeS of ofGeorgina

Georgina, considered one town, actually consists of numerous lakeside communities and hamlets including Keswick, Orchard Beach, Roches Point, Island Grove, Willow Beach, Franklin Beach, Jackson’s Point, Sutton, Baldwin, Brown Hill, Udora, Port Bolster, Pefferlaw, Virginia, Egypt, Vachell, Cedarbrae, and Duclos Point.

Named by Governor John Graves Simcoe in honour of King George III, the area was surveyed in 1817 and settlement began in earnest in 1819. The first patents were issued to Captain William Bourchier, R.N., who, in 1839, built his regency home known as the “Briars.” Drawn by good agricultural land, a scenic pine-forested shoreline and close proximity to York (now Toronto), Georgina soon became home to numerous settlers, many of whom have family names that are still prominent in the town. The Georgina Historical Village at the Civic Centre welcomes visitors of all ages to learn more about their heritage.


The Briars. Originally built in 1840 by Cpt. William Bourchier, R.N., Frank Sibbald, eighth son to Susan and William Sibbald, added extensively to it. It was transformed into a resort by his great nephew, Jack Sibbald after W.W.I and into an inn in 1977 by his son John and his wife Barbara Sibbald, who with sons Hugh and Andrew, operate it today. It is recognized as one of the premier destination points for business and pleasure in Southern Ontario.

accOmmODatIONThe “Point” offers the best in guest accommodation

from The Briars Resort, a Three Diamond hotel to small motels and Bed and Breakfasts. Whatever your desire, it can be found in Jackson’s Point. (Take advantage of the enclosed directory for a more complete listing.)

SHOPPINGThe Lake Drive and Dalton Road intersection has a

number of stores offering gifts, food, pharmaceuticals and refreshments and is within walking distance to the Jackson’s Point Harbour.

Farther south on Dalton Road are two major food stores, a flower shop, two pharmacies, a building supply outlet, hardware store, Giant Tiger and many restaurants.

The Jackson’s Point BIA is continually making the area better for shoppers. Make sure you stop by to see the latest improvements!

eNtertaINmeNtDinner and dancing are available at The Briars Resort

on Hedge Road every Saturday evening. The Lake Simcoe Arms British Pub extends a warm welcome with a variety of pub favourites and other popular dishes and offers live music year-round, and on the patio during summer months. If you’re in the mood for fine dining, Jackson’s Place has you covered.

SPOrtSJackson’s Point has a transient public harbour to

serve the boating public. The area is excellent for all types of boats and personal watercraft. It also has a private marina offering full services to boaters and fishing enthusiasts both during the summer and the winter.

De La Salle Park, Franklin Beach Conservation Park and Willow Beach Conservation Area are operated by the Town of Georgina. They offer excellent swimming with picnic facilities and parking.

Golfers have a choice of two nine-hole courses, one right near De La Salle Park and the other at Willow Beach, a short distance west. The latter also offers a driving range and a mini putt course.

SUTTONCaptain William Bourchier, R.N., a Scotsman,

returned from the navy after the War of 1812 and took up grants of land with his younger brother, James, in what is now Sutton. They pronounced their name “Bowxher”. Eventually, they were to become responsible for the development of Bourchier’s Mill, later Sutton.The village has developed to the point where it now runs into Jackson’s Point to the north and the hamlet of Virginia to the east. Virginia Beach has both a ferry and a float boat service to the Georgina Island Reserve. The Beach is accessible either from Hwy. 48 and Virginia Beach Road at Virginia or via Black River Road from Sutton.

HIStOrIc SIteSThe Manor House in Sutton and the Briars

in Jackson’s Point, both built by the Bourchier family, are now heritage sites. Additional historical sites of interest include St. James Anglican Church — 1856, the Holborn Home known as “Maple Hurst” on River Street, Dr. Noble’s Home at the Pioneer Village and the Georgina Island Reserve.

SHOPPINGHigh Street and Dalton Road make up the

shopping district for Sutton. Much of this retail and commercial area features smaller specialty stores and services.

eNtertaINmeNtPubs/restaurants on High St and Dalton Rd offer

entertainment and dancing for the young at heart.The Sutton Fair and Horse Show, August 6 to 9,

is one of the oldest fairs in Ontario presenting its 160th edition this year. The Fair offers something for everyone, regardless of age.

SPOrtSSutton is blessed with a large fair grounds, a curling

arena, the Sutton Arena, an indoor swimming pool and extensive playing areas for tennis, baseball and soccer. Be it summer or winter, there is always plenty to do. The proximity to Lake Simcoe, of course, opens up all the usual activities of swimming, boating and fishing in the summer and snowmobiling and ice fishing in the winter.

BALDWINLocated south of Sutton and just east of Keswick, the

tiny hamlet of Baldwin is home to many hobby farms and equestrian centres.

The main landmark in Baldwin has always been the grist mill on the Black River. The first mill was built in the early 1800s, but both it and its replacement burned down. The current structure was brought from Keswick piece by piece and began operation in 1883. Many of the area’s original wood and cobblestorne structures are still standing.

Most of the area’s small businesses and amenities are accessible off the main Hwy. 48 artery north of Ravenshoe Road and south of High Street. The main commercial sector is located at the Baldwin Plaza on the east side of Hwy. 48, which includes a coffee shop, horse equipment and saddle retailer, bait and tackle shop, custom signs, art gallery, restaurant and motel.

Baldwin is also home to the Baldwin Airport, which offers skydiving through the Parachute School of Toronto Limited; Blue Willow’s Garden Centre; the Baldwin Conservation Area; Lyndhurst Golf Course, a public, 18-hole golf facility; a 10+ pump self-serve gas station and convenience store; and numerous antique retailers.

PEFFERLAWAlthough the village of Pefferlaw is concentrated to

the south of Hwy. 48 along the Pefferlaw River, the area of Pefferlaw extends from Virginia to Port Bolster and includes Duclos Point, McRae Beach, Morning Glory and Holmes Point.

The village owes its founding to the river flowing through it which bears its name. The Pefferlaw River afforded an excellent site for a mill and, circa 1830, Captain Wm. Johnson, R.N. retired, built a sawmill, grist mill and woollen mill after similar efforts in Baldwin had failed.

HIStOrIc SIteSThe site of the old mill is now a lovely park to be

enjoyed by all.

SHOPPINGThe village has a downtown section offering

groceries, refreshments, banking services, restaurants, a library, gas station, automotive repair and personal services.

SPOrtSThe extended area of Pefferlaw includes a great deal

of Lake Simcoe shoreline and, as such, offers the usual summer and winter sports of fishing, swimming, boating, ice fishing and snowmobiling. Much of the area is taken up with private cottages, but Holmes Point is an exception with both a public beach and a private, commercial beach. The latter is situated at the mouth of the Pefferlaw River and includes a motel, a restaurant and docking facilities for boats.

Another hidden treasure in Pefferlaw is Eaglewood — 90 acres of “wilderness” with hiking, skating, cross country skiing, group camping, day visits, horseback riding, fishing, housekeeping accommodation, common room and much more. Eaglewood is a community oriented family resort that is fully wheelchair accessible.

The Pines of Georgina Golf Course on Hwy. 48 is a competitive, 18-hole course complete with all club facilities, a lounge and a restaurant.

PORT BOLSTERThe hamlet of Port Bolster is often considered an

extension of Pefferlaw and offers the visitor much of the same services. Its main street is Durham Road 23 (also known as Lake Ridge Road). The Port Bolster area is very popular for its fishing, both in summer and winter.

UDORAThe hamlet of Udora is located in the southeast of

Georgina and borders the Region of Durham. Like Pefferlaw, it too is situated on The Pefferlaw River which is the focal point for a large private camp, in effect a subdivision of cottages, owned by the Estonian Summer Homes Association.
